Wheeling Sunday register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1882-1934, 1887-12-18

PIE YEAR 1888 bids fair to be one of the most i'm
I portant in the history Of Wheeling. The year 1887
was an unusually bright year for the town, but It's sue
cessOr ssure to eclipse it.
The advent of the cheapest fuel in Chrstendom has
given Wheeling a great boom. 1t has invested home
capital with renewed confidence in Wheeling,s ability
to cope with any section of the country as a manuiac-
turing point. Hence the profits Of business are not
seeking foreign investments as much as they were, but
are being placed in Improvements and new industries
at Home; as witness the new china and pottery jactO-
tories under construction and nearing completion; also
the many new dwelling and business houses and public
Improvements which have been pushed to a finish the
past year, and the fine outlook for greater advancement
in this direction next year.
Business and JObbing Houses, with but few eXcep-
tons, report a much larger volume OF business than in
prior years and are making preparations to increase
their capacity.
The Prospect of a Union Railroad Bridge across
the Ohio, and a direct connection with all Northwest
eIn Ohio and adjoining States is very encouraging, and
if cOnsummated, will increase the population of the city
and neighborhOod from five to ten thousand people
within a year after the work begins and is completed.
All these matters and things are presented to strangers
seeking new locations, and to capital seeking invest
mcnt. 1t will pay all corners to tary awhile in our
midst and see what the town and surrounding towns
have to offer in the way of natural advantages and other
inducements. 1t is said, by experts in such matters, OF
Wheeling and her sister towns of BenwoOd, Bellaire and
Martins Ferry, that there are no such advantages, IN the
way of cheap fuel, building sights, shipping facilities,
skilled labor and cheap living in all the Ohio Valley as
|hereabouts. But the way to settle all these questions Is
to come and see for yourself, ...
